For a richer flavor, substitute milk for water. A stand mixer with a dough hook can be used for kneading. Brush the tops of the baked rolls with melted butter for extra shine and flavor.

Bloom the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy. (5 minutes)
Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the lightly beaten egg into the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. (5 minutes)
Knead and Shape: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3-5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. (8 minutes)
Rest: Cover the rolls loosely with aluminum foil and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes, allowing them to rise slightly. (10 minutes)
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown on top. (10 minutes)
